Sold at an auction this year as BRUCE BELLAS OF LA, MALE NUDE STUDY, 1950s https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/bruce-bellas-of-la-male-nude-study-1950s-894-c-ce444de908
While I can't attest to the photographer of most of my photos, three other fully nude images of Tom are said to be by Bruce according to Mike at Male Models Vintage Beefcake: http://malemodelsvintagebeefcake.blogspot.com/search/label/Tom%20Wayne
